They actually aren't funny, Elmo. Your mom is, once again, correct

Dustin, 9/14/23

Apologies (?) for not showing you yesterday's Dustin, which consisted of Dustin asking his dad to guess the global gross domestic product, and Dustin's dad guessing $100 trillion when the actual answer was $102 trillion (according to the strip, anyway, but if you think I'm doing any research whatsoever to fact-check a gag in Dustin you are sorely mistaken), and there was some bemused discussion of how his guess was quite close in relative terms despite being off by $2 trillion, a very large sum when considered on its own. Anyway, this was annoying but not that annoying -- certainly not that annoying by Dustin's usual standards -- so I didn't bother talking about it here. But repeating the exact same "joke" today, with nothing new added other than a shuffle in the lineup of characters saying it? Well, that's annoying enough to bring to your attention. If they try to get a whole week out of this concept, I'm going to be very annoyed indeed.
